ROSEMARY | Rosmarinus officinalis
Rosemary, which is actually part of the mint family, shares many of the same therapeutic properties as mint and is also used medicinally, for fragrance, and as a flavoring agent, but Rosemary oil has a very potent, woodsy, balsamic and evergreen-like aroma. Rosemary is considered a sacred herb among many civilizations and cultures–used for driving away evil spirits and also as a symbol of remembrance. Some recent studies show that it improves cognitive performance and supports healing of neurological tissue.
